Shustoke Reservoir lies two miles east of Coleshill on the B4114 Coleshill to Furnace End Road, south of the River Bourne. At 1.5km west to east, the main pool is only 400m at its widest point. The River Bourne feeds the smaller eastern pool (8 acres), the water is then transferred to the main reservoir (92 acres). Disturbance at weekends can be a problem.

Sunday 25th September

I have had one of those weeks were life has got in the way of birding. I prefer birding!

I have been over late afternoon but the three Black Tern that Steve Haynes had early had gone. The Captain had a few Siskin late last week but it has quieten off a lot as the autumn advances.

This afternoon apart from 20 or so Swallow I saw very little. I also checked out the gull roost Thursday and Friday but I could not pick up Yellow-legged Gull or Med Gull.
